Every option tree must include a dictionary named commands.cnf in its cfg subdirectory. The dictionary specifies the following attributes for each command provided by the option tree:
A command definition occupies a single line in the dictionary. A sample dictionary entry looks like this:
MYC*OMMAND P, 3+, INPUT=, ITERATIONS=1K, 0
This fictitious entry demonstrates all of the commonly encountered variations:
MYCOMMAND
, which can be shortened to
MYC
. (You cannot give multiple commands in one option tree
the same full or abbreviated command name, but identically named commands
in different option trees is acceptable.)INPUT
and has no default value.
ITERATIONS
and has a default
value of 1024. NeXtMidas recognizes the 'K' and 'M' suffixes and assigns
to them their customary binary values.
